ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and severity of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) through measuring the level of serum Hey in the patients with ACS.Methods95 patients who were diagnosed ACS were divided into two groups:40 cases of unstable angina(UA) and 55 cases of a cute myocardial infarction(AMI).30 individuals were chosen as normal control(NC).In addition,according to the results of coronary angiography,the same 95 patients were further divided into three subgroups which were single-vessel disease( 28cases),double-vessel disease ( 36cases ) and multi-vessel disease ( 31 cases ).Level of serum Hcy was measured in all groups.ResultsSerum Hcy level of ACS patients was significantly higher than NC group( P ＜ 0.01 ).The level of serum Hcy in AMI group was significantly higher than that in UA group( P ＜ 0.05 ).The Hcy level in the multi-vessel disease group,double-vessel disease group and single-vessel disease group were increased in turn,and the difference of pairwise comparison was statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum Hcy level has rela tionship with the severity of coronary lesions and is directly proportional to the number of coronary artery lesions.The result suggests that the level of serum Hcy maybe play an important role in the prevention,diagnosis,treatment and monitoring of ACS.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive nursing intervention on the secondary infection in chemotherapy of elderly patients with lung cancer.Methods 168 cases of elderly lung cancer patients whose neutrophil ≤ 1.0×109/L during chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups,namely,the intensive care group and the control group,with 84 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing of infection prevention,while the intensive care group was given intensified nursing for infection prevention.A contrastive analysis was conducted in terms of the incidence,clinical characteristics and the duration of antibiotic treatment of the two groups of patients with secondary infection.Results The secondary infection rate of the intensive care group was lower than that of the control group during chemotherapy.What's more,the duration of fever and treatment of the intensive care group was shorter than that of the control group,hence the patients were safe during infection period.The difference was statistically significant.Conclusions Strengthening the nursing intervention can reduce the incidence rate of secondary infection in aged patients with lung cancer,increase the tolerance of patients to chemotherapy and ensure the successful completion of the chemotherapy cycle,prolong the life span of the patients with an improved quality of life.

ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of patient controlled epidural analgesia on recovery and serum prolactin of parturient after undergoing cesarean section.MethodsEighty-six cases with cesarean section patients were classified into two groups by random digits table,which observation group with 43 cases were used patient controlled epidural analgesia,and control group with 43 cases were used intramuscular pethidine.The analgesic effect and serum prolactin between the two groups were compared.ResultsThe good rate in observation group was 79.1％(34/43 ),significantly higher than that in control group [20.9％( 9/43 ) ](P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with pre-operation,the level of prolactin in observation group was significantly increased [ ( 542.17 ± 46.75 ) μ g/L vs.( 351.13 ± 20.92 ) μ g/L] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Moreover,the level of prolactin in observation group after operation was significantly higher than that in control group[ (362.12 ± 24.33)μ g/L ] ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The colostrum time in observation group was ( 15.21 ± 3.26 ) h which was shorter than that in control group [ (21.16 ± 4.78) h ] (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe analgesic effect of patient controlled epidural analgesia on parturient after undergoing cesarean section is good,which can help patients recovery and improve the level of serum prolactin,which can be applied in clinic.

Objective To study the current application and influencing factor of emergency medical service in patients with acute heart failure in our hospital.Methods 254 patients with acute heart failure who visited our hospital from January 2008 to December 2010 were selected.Data were collected by questionnaire and medical records in one week after admission to the hospital.The current application and influencing factors of emergency medical service in patients were analyzed.Results Of all the patients with acute heart failme,only 89(35％)arrived at the hospital by emergency medical service,but the rest 165(65％)relied on self-transport.Multivariate logistic analysis showed that age,sex,education level,unbearable symptoms and attribution of symptoms to cardiac origin were independent predictors of the use of emergency medical service.The effective treatment rate was higher,and the pre-hospital time was shorter in patients who used emergency medical service than those relied on self-transport.Conclusions The use rate of emergency medical service in patients with acute heart failure is low,and age,sex,education level,the characters of symptoms and cognitive factors of patients influence the use of emergency medical service in patients with acute heart failure.

Tourette syndrome(-TS) is a genetic predisposition,chronic complex neuropsychiatric disease in children.Recent studies focus on the relationship between TS and the genetic variations of susceptibility genes,particularly single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).Highly automated,high accuracy and low cost of SNP detection and analysis technologies have promoted the study of hereditary diseases.The recent research development of SNP in TS related genes was reviewed in the paper.
